There have been plenty of talking points during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar both on and off-the-pitch including Saudi Arabia's incredible win against Argentina. Saudis will wake up to a national holiday today in celebration of their famous win and will probably have Germany's match on their minds as World Cup fever continues in the Middle East.
Hansi Flick's side are the favourites going into this tie at 4/9 with Betfred while Japan are 13/2 and a draw is 19/5. Die Mannschaft will be keen to maintain their unbeaten run against their Asian opponents having picked up a win and a draw in their two meetings.
The DFB team go into their first World Cup since Joachim Lowe left the side last year after the Euros with former assistant manager Flick now at the helm. The former Bayern Munich boss has ample talent in his squad with captain Manuel Neuer, Antonio Rudiger, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller arguably the spine for the side in this competition.
